I started on building up a little setup for both creative woodworking cabinet making, kitchen installation, painting/prep work, photographic/theatrical set making here in Denmark.
My first Festool was the CT midi which is seeing hard use in a stairway paint preperation job, it's attached to a metabo SX E 400 and SXE 425 excentric sanders..Works great and it's so great to experience a clean working enviroment while doing this kind of work.
This experience has awakened an earlier interest in creative woodworking. And as usual more will have more, so today I took delivery of my first Festool woodworking machine the Carvex PSC 420 Eb plus 15 Li. One battery version to save money. This will be used for break down of materials and small job cutting where noise is an issue and the jigsaw used carefully can fit the bill. Like cutting down shelves/countertops for ktichen installation. The Carvex is of course also very suited to use to work with some designs I have for lattice work screens/doors/room dividers, as well as for cutouts, and signs.
The Carvex version having just one battery just won't do! So to keep things compatible and to make a nice pairing I've got my eye on the C15 drill with set.. Great for my envisioned usage and I will then have three interchangeble 15v batteries 1that came with the Carvex 3Ah and 2, 4.2Ah That come with the C15 so 3 batterys to work with my two cordeless machines. Accessories on the list would be the 2011 Centrotec set and the Carvex Acessory set..I've already ordered about 20 various wood cutting blades and the 20 splinterproofing insets..
I'm likely going to go for the 2200 Router with set at sometime in the future, working out a methodology to do most shaping planing and joining tasks. Can't it be used in place of the Domino for joining duties? For laminate routing if I end up doing that kind of work I'll just go with a smaller bosch or dewalt. For my usage I think the OF 500/700 would be overkill..
I like the look of the MFT 3 worktable but have also seen some good designs for selfmade work tables that at least for a start might be the way to go..
I hope to keep my setup to a minimum to force me to get knowledgeble and skilled with a limited tool set, and later upgrade with additional tools.. I already own consumer level circular saws planers hammer drills and quite a few decent handtools so I think my workshop on wheels should be a manageble economic investment. Even though these indivdual Festools tools are relatively expensive, used carefully and creatively I suspect I will be get an enourmous amount of quality work done with them..
